WATER-COCK FOR TOILET-BASINS OR BATH-TUB S.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 591 ,107, dated October5, 1897.

Application filed December 18, 1895. Serial No. 571,985. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILBUR F. WASHBURN, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Yonkers,county of Westchester, 5 and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in WVater- Cocks for Toilet-Basins orBath-Tubs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a single metallic 1o casting forming thecasings of two watervalves, an intermediate base-plate common to bothvalve-casings and forming by its concave upper surface a dish orsoap-holder, the front part of said plate cast hollow, so as to I 5 forma continuous waterway between the two valves, a central nozzle openinginto said waterway for discharging either hot or cold water, or bothcombined, in any required proportions, and a collar for theoverflow-pipe, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple, durable, andeconomical water-cock from which hot or cold water, or both combined,may be discharged without employing the usual number of screw-joints andpipes now in general use, and at the same time,

through the form of construction, provide a permanent holder for soap orother toilet material. I secure this by casting all the necessary partsin a single piece, which may be finished in a plain or artistic manner,as taste one of the valves, the waterway in the baseplate, and thecentral nozzle leading from said waterway. I

In the drawings and the specification like letters indicate like parts.

A is the valvecasing, and K the leg thereof, forming an integral part ofthe casting.

This leg is threaded on its exterior surface, so as to admit of theengagement of the clamping-nut K. tachment for the water-supply pipe.

Bis the intermediate base-plate common to both valves, and D the nozzle,through which either hot or cold water, or both com bined, maybedischarged by operating the valves.

The upper face of the base-plate is con cave, so as to form adish-shaped soap-holder G. This holder is preferably provided with ashoulder O near its upper'edge, so that a removable dish or plate may beheld therein, if so desired. (See Fig. 3.)

The continuous waterway formed in the base-plate, and which opens intoboth valves and discharges through nozzle D, is shown at G, Figs. 3 and4. It is formed in the casting and is here shown as confined to thefront part of the base-plate, although it may be constructed so as toform a continuous waterway around the plate.

It will be seen that when the hot-water valve is opened and the otherclosed the hot water will flow from the nozzle D and cold water fiow bythe reverse action, while the opening of both valves at the same timewill supply hot and cold water combined in such proportions as may berequired.

H is the supporting-collar for the overflow-- pound water-cocks havingsupply-openings at opposite ends thereof and the passage Gin its frontpart and connecting said openings, the cavity or soap-holding recess 0between the openings, the supporting-collarH formed integral with theplate, the said openings, passage G, cavity, and collar I-I being in thesame It also forms the point of at horizontal plane, and thedischarge-nozzle D enoe of two Witnesses, this 4th day of Decemoonneotedwith the passage G, the valve-oasber, 1895. ings A A and legs K Kthereof, also formed integral with the plate, substantially as shownWILBUR WASHBURN' 5 and described.
